Court No. - 6
                    HON'BLE PRAKASH PADIA, J.

1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the
respondents and perused the record.

2. In view of the order proposed to be passed herein, no useful purpose
would be served by putting the private respondent to notice and keeping
this petition pending before this Court. However, in case the private
respondent feels aggrieved by the order his/her right to seek
modification/variation of the order is being kept reserved.

3. The petitioner has preferred present petition with the prayer to direct
the respondent no.2-Tehsildar, Judicial, Tehsil-Ballia Sadar, District
Ballia to decide Mutation Case being Case No.11136 of 2025,
Computerized Case No.T202515090311163 expeditiously.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that an application
filed under sub-rule (7) of Rules 34 of the U.P. Revenue Code Rules,
2016, is pending since long. At this stage it would be apt and appropriate
to note sub-rule (7) of Rules 34 of the U.P. Revenue Code Rules, 2016,
which mandates that upon such an application being filed, the authority
concerned would be required to dispose of the same within time bound
period strictly in accordance with law. Sub-rule (7) of Rules 34 of the
U.P. Revenue Code Rules, 2016,

     "(7). The Tahsildar shall make an endeavor to decide the
     undisputed case of mutation within the period of 45 days from the
     date of the registration of the case and the disputed case of mutation
     within the period of 90 days and if the proceeding is not concluded
     within such period the reason for the same shall be recorded.
                                                                                            WRIC No. 10102 of 2026
                                                                    2


                                    5. In the teeth of the said provision and also in the light of the submissions
                                    made by the learned Advocates appearing for the parties, a direction is
                                    being issued to the authorities to take up the said application and dispose
                                    of the same on its own merits strictly in accordance with law most
                                    expeditiously and preferably within a period of three months from the
                                    date of production of certified copy of this order but without granting
                                    unnecessary adjournment unless there is no legal impediment.

                                    6. With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition is disposed of.

                                    7. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the
                                    merits of the rival submissions.


                                                                                             (Prakash Padia,J.)
